UNR freaks out in composited environment

[Alex Launi]

The panel becomes hidden, and UNR launcher behaves strangely when metacity compositor is enabled. This should be fixed so that apps such as gnome do (which is an must on a netbook) which are composite aware, can be fully used.

I have the same problem.

If i activate "/apps/metacity/general/compositing_manager" and start (for example) seahorse to search a public key, the panel becomes invisible. I can use it, but i can not see it.
This happens also if i go to the preferences dialog in firefox.

I think the problem is maximus. If i turn off maximus everything works well.

I have the same problem, but not on my netbook and I am not using maximus.

However, maximus was a nice hint: I do have a terminal running fullscreen with nog window decoration using Devil's Pie. When I removed the 'undecorate' setting from my Devil's Pie configuration, the panel no longer disappears and the problem is gone.

So I guess there's a bug somewhere in Metacity's compositor triggered by removing window decoration for some window.
